AIT-3 SCSI External Drive
This drive is an external tape drive with a SCSI interface. Ideally suited for business environments, it has the double the capacity of its predecessor, a whopping 260GB. Its compact form factor of 3.5” will appeal to space conscious consumers and its super head cleaner mechanism helps reduce the need for periodic cleaning saving valuable time and energy. Its backward compatibility and ultra reliable head life of 50,000 hours, mean time between failures of 400,000 hours and media uses of 30,000 end-to-end passes; proves that AIT storage products are a smart investment for DDS and DLT format users.
